Black-bellied vs. Black-bellied: Ultimate ShowdownCh28.1 - Sounding Him Out

Episode 028: Sounding Him Out

Tang Weiye took the opportunity to sit down next to Qi Yu. He asked Si Hang to introduce Qi Yu to him in detail. MLkcwn

Si Hang flaunted Qi Yu’s background and academic achievements, practically boasting that Qi Yu was someone of the heavens and was an existence unmatched on Earth.

Tang Wei Ye teased him, saying, “That’s pretty amazing. Si Hang, I didn’t expect a kid like you to have such an immortal-like friend?”

His eyes, filled with undisguised interest, then swept through Qi Yu. He stretched out his hand and said, “Come on, Qi Yu. Let me formally introduce myself. I am Tang Weiye, I’ve been good brothers with Si Hang for many years.”

Zhu Lin chimed in, “Tang Qi Motors belongs to Tang Weiye’s family.” FRS90k

Tang Qi Motors? The car maker?

Qi Yu raised his eyebrows and shook hands with Tang Weiye.

Unexpectedly, Tang Weiye didn’t release his hand for several seconds after grabbing it. It wasn’t until Qi Yu’s expression turned slightly stiff, that he squeezed his palm and then begrudgingly released him.

“Qi Yu, how old are you this year?” Tang Weiye saw that there wasn’t much left in his glass, so he refilled his glass for him. He then sat a little closer to Qi Yu, their legs almost sticking to each other.

“Twenty.” Si Hang was to the left of Qi Yu and he couldn’t shift his body. He could only hold back his discomfort and continue talking with him.

“Hey, then you’re two years younger than I am.” Tang Weiye put the glass into his hand and asked, “When did you return to the country? How long are you staying in Haicheng?”

“The day before yesterday, for two months.”

“So you just came back? You can’t get good food abroad, right? Haicheng is full of delicacies. What kind of cuisine do you like? How about I take you out to eat?” VYouM

Qi Yu hadn’t answered yet when Meng Wenhui, who was playing cards next to them, couldn’t stand listening to him anymore. He turned his head and said, “Hey, buddy, what’s with this ‘you can’t get good food abroad’? My family runs restaurants abroad and all our chefs are domestic first-class chefs. You better not get the wrong idea that we’re poor and deprived over there. Ever since Qi Yu was a child, whatever he wanted to eat, my mother would have the cooks cook for him!”

“Hehe,” Tang Weiye asked with a smile, “Who is this?”

Si Hang immediately introduced him, including the two bodyguards, as friends who came with Qi Yu.

Tang Weiye let out an “Oh”, then turned back to Qi Yu, asking, “Then do you like racing? My family has a private racing track to the north of Haicheng near Jiangsu Province… That’s right, we’ve even go karts there’s. It’s really fun. You can’t play this abroad, right?”

Qi Yu held his glass and looking embarrassed, turned to Si Hang on his left. “Si Hang…”

His tone of appealing for his help greatly satisfied Si Hang’s vanity. Si Hang immediately spoke up to help him out of trouble, “Tang Weiye, Qi Yu’s return to the country this time is to help his dad with work. He’s very busy so don’t bother him!”

Tang Weiye awkwardly took a sip of his drink. He sat there for a while, then suddenly took out his cell phone. “Qi Yu, let’s add each other on WeChat!”

Qi Yu was taken aback. Only then did he remember that he had yet to reply to Fu Yansheng’s message. Xwh2sZ

But Tang Wei Ye never gave him a chance to reply. After adding each other on WeChat, he pulled him back in conversation, “What do you usually do for fun when you’re abroad?”

Qi Yu: “…………”

After chatting with him for half an hour, Qi Yu couldn’t stand it anymore and got up. Using the excuse that he needed to go to restroom, he left the room to take a breather. olJMkq

The smile on his face disappeared as soon as he got out of the room.

From the moment Tang Weiye entered through the door and said that statement with regards to him, Qi Yu already knew that this person was interested to him. But he never thought that the other party would dare to so blatantly pursue him.

The cold 18 degrees Celsius air in the room couldn’t suppress the male hormones being released by the other party, and along with it the nauseating smell of those hormones…

If it weren’t for the need to continue to maintain the appearance of a friendship with Si Hang, Qi Yu wouldn’t have been able to hold back from telling Tang Weiye stay far away from him. YPw72L

Qi Yu washed his face with cold water, trying to calm himself down.

If this was a year ago when he was still doubting his sexuality, then Tang Weiye’s behavior would have made him clearly aware of his attitude towards this aspect.

At the same time, Qi Yu was feeling a little confused.

——Since I’m not gay, then why can I accept Fu Yansheng’s kiss? glomJk

Fu Yansheng was also a man, one who was even taller and more imposing that Tang Weiye. He was more mature and more…masculine.

Qi Yu shook his head. He took out his phone and after a moment’s hesitation, replied to Fu Yansheng, “At Clubhouse No. 88 on Huaijin Road, at a gathering with friends.”

The other practically replied within a second.

F1S: “Are you still there? Do you want me to pick you up?” I0Af8M

Yu: “Are you free?”

F1S: “Yeah.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Yu: “Then come here.”

When he got out of the bathroom, Qi Yu saw that one of his bodyguards was waiting at the door. He admired the other’s dedication and asked, “What’s your name?” 1MUr60

“Wang Meng.” The other replied.

Qi Yu nodded and said, “Go back, don’t let them notice that anything’s wrong.”

Or else, if Si Hang were to find out that he had brought bodyguards to his welcome dinner, their friendship would probably cease to exist and they would instead be in conflict.

After returning to the room, Qi Yu played a few more rounds of games with them, and then told Si Hang that he had plans for the next day so he was going to have to duck out a bit earlier. JsiDdp

Tang Weiye took out his car keys, and said, eagerly attentive, “Where are you staying? Should I give you a ride?”

Qi Yu tilted his head at him and said with a smile, “You’ve drank so much. Can you drive?”

Tang Weiye smiled and said, “Then…should we call a substitute driver? Should I accompany you back?”

Seeing that Tang Weiye simple wasn’t going to let him off, Qi Yu finally couldn’t help saying, “Tang xiong, because you are Si Hang’s brother, I honestly urge you. We can be friends but you shouldn’t spend too much thought on me. I have no interest in that area.” H jBcW

He deliberately made these words a little firmer, letting Si Hang next to him hear it as well.

Tang Weiye was taken aback for a moment, a bit of embarrassment appearing on his face.

When Si Hang saw him defeated, he gloated and said, “Eh, did you hear that? Our Yu Ge is very upright and proper. He’s already giving you face by not getting angry at you! So restrain yourself a bit. You can have anyone you want. Don’t mess with your brothers!”

Tang Weiye turned his head unhappily and said nothing. dl5Ghg

When the two bodyguards saw Qi Yu get up, they too wanted to follow. Qi Yu, afraid that Si Hang would catch on, deliberately said, “It’s not often we get to come back to China. You guys stay and have fun. I’ll call a car to bring me back to the hotel. Don’t worry about me. ”

After saying goodbye to everyone, he left first.

Out of the room, Qi Yu took out his mobile phone and saw that Fu Yansheng had sent him message about twenty minutes ago.

F1S: “I’m waiting for you at the convenience store diagonally across from No. 88 Huaijin Road. Tell me when you’re out.” MuV5WP

Qi Yu went out. Unexpectedly, it was drizzling outside.

The air was damp. It as no longer hot like it was during that daytime but it was still a little stuffy.

Across the rain and fog, he saw a brightly lit 24-hour convenience store across the street.

A tall man stood under the canopy outside the convenience store, the light illuminating his chiseled face. It was Fu Yansheng. PMvEiV

Qi Yu crossed the road and walked slowly towards the other side.

The man seemed to have already seen him, but his posture remained the same. Only the scarlet flame between his fingers drifted in the night sky as he smoked.

When Qi Yu approached, Fu Yansheng asked in a low voice, “It’s over?”

It was already midnight. Qi Yu teased, “Teacher Fu, aren’t pick-up services already outside the scope of your business chat service?” 7cILYa

Fu Yansheng rubbed out his cigarette and threw the cigarette butt into the trash can beside him. He asked, “Didn’t you want me to pick you up? If not, what did you tell me the specific address for?”

Qi Yu: “……???”
